week have been braced for an onslaught of the angry and indignant. boss to get out all the bleach in the sun to impress here a surge mushers job benefit us they just benefit a very few people. on the european union on the banks these are cheats of betrayal the first force that increase. not the orange more and that is the agreements between greece and it's not just in this state without any kind of go for negotiations they have promised to mismatch of and the other european leaders just implement all of the former agreements lost on them so far bones amassed spaniards claim they were victims of police brutality chasing down protesters they fired rubber bullets into crowds to injury count from just one night topping sixty this will last as long as austerity law says as

neoliberal austerity lasts and as long as. it's going to last as long as it needs to last until people's daily needs are met the m.t.s. territories rank and file have most recently been posted by portuguese protesters a nation known for its tolerance of bailout sponsored cutbacks reforms that are put the only. it's a social security payment some workers appear a step too far but this week's hot spot remains madrid with three demonstrations of foes real resistance to the government's public sector cutbacks here the surround congress movement has called for the dissolution of parliament but the heady claims made to the group more harm than good because alone in separatism with the potential for spain to lose twenty percent of its current output will likely because the government get more sleepless nights but prime minister a whole new budget shows no concessions to and yes there are protesters with forty

billion euros a fresh cuts economists and activists alike have labeled the move as pandering to e.u. euro zone and i.m.f. demands adding fuel to the fire as people populate his central madrid assess day to hurl accusations at police and the politicians they share old jake agrees r.t. madrid. this week the u.n. general assembly is annual get together to almost two hundred world leaders coming to new york to push through their political agenda but the crisis in syria and unrest across the middle east and beyond gripping global attention some like israel's prime minister still managed to steal the show by cartoonish al strachan of the complexities of iran's nuclear program art is more an up or not wrapped up those speeches. as world leaders gathered for the annual u.n. general assembly international anger over and islamophobia american film was still

blazing in the muslim world addressing the world body u.s. president barack obama condemned the video nonetheless defending the right to free speech as president of our country and commander in chief of our military i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so obama also pledged his support for arab spring nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part of an organized campaign against islamic center is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is

usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with u.s. president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hat to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their voices are not heard even if they constitute ninety nine percent of their societies meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for a military also made up on iran over its nuclear program using some surprising methods to illustrate his point this is a bomb this is a fuse

a red line should be drawn right here before we iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment. necessary to make a bomb israel stole the show in more ways than one would be. what's worth the wiley coyote a nuclear bomb. you really got of her tandem are you going to pretend that you don't know what a nuclear bomb well it's like. here israel. one downstairs and looked in the basement on another us show russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov recalled another time problems were used at the u.n. to garner support for military intervention you see. my good friend colin powell colin powell was shaking this violet's some white powder in the security council. then they reconstruct that ing us unless we also writes the use of force

against iraq we would be on their own thought the fuse three. and the turned out to be that there was no anthrax and that filed today russia and the u.s. remain divided over how to end the civil war in syria moscow says some countries supporting the opposition are turning a blind eye to terrorist attacks committed by the rebels and you say push syria even deeper into the base of bloody internet scene strife the militarization of the conflict is continuing with calls of an open intervention russia says confidence in the un has also been compromised by unilateral actions taken against countries like cuba iran and now syria stero consequences to unilateral sanctions imposed by state group of states sidestepping the un to advance their political goals we have no doubt that such sanctions especially when they are applied next territorially weaken the unity of the international community and undermine the

effectiveness of its efforts the un was originally founded as an arena for all parties to respectfully discuss issues and diplomatically collaborate on solutions as the sixty seventh year of the general assembly begins many are left wondering why at least one country has cemented a pattern of acting alone are enough artsy new york. in syria a blaze which swept through an ancient markets in the city of aleppo has extensively damaged a heritage site reports say the fire started by gunfire it's between government and rebel forces has destroyed hundreds of shops also this week the country's capital damascus was rocked by a twin explosions the free syrian army claimed responsibility for targeting a key military compound killing five people including an iranian journalist a countries that backed the rebels stopped short of condemning the attacks instead of meeting on the sidelines of the when and then its allies pledged additional

multimillion dollar to the syrian opposition to help fight against assad political analyst jacob hornberger says u.s. intentions in the region are driving syria right there from a peaceful solution. well it's a standard policy of the us government it is it is designed to oust rulers of regimes that are independent of what might be called the us military empire and replace them with pro-u.s. rulers so we have the dichotomy of supporting dictators in country their loyal to the us government in trying to oust dictators that are not loyal to the us going to the us is committed to the ouster of the assad regime and whenever you hear that the united nations is just designed for the american taxpayer the american voter create the appearance that the us is interested in spreading democracy and freedom when in fact it has a long history of supporting dictatorial regimes in saudi arabia even iran under

the shah of iran syria itself don't forget that the cia used the assad regime to torture some of its rendition torture victims and so the the whatever goes on in the un is really ridiculous and senseless. killing us all charles also found a way to be heard by world leaders in new york husing the us of silencing the truth and creating a world of secrecy he is still in ecuador some say in london but are to provided him with a link to share his views artists are for it has the details. despite having been holed up. in the ecuadorian embassy here in london we want to sleep latest on the full attention of fall victim by such lightning at the u.n. conference now in his address this. is this is president obama and the us from the one hand things things are very lovely to end the principles of freedom

starting its egypt pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in you know creasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more eager to accept it the american military presence which up until now has been quite strong protest against but now we see them renewing military joint military exercises in guam it's a trade so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket as it as it were and i think that's that plays into american interest in china does come up again another stories on our website at r t dot com this time china fabio it's the u.s. as president obama orders a chinese company to abandon her smile. but also on a website for small children will have to spend half a year apart from their russian mother as finnish farthings falsely accuse their family after child abuse find out why it happened to dot com.

a hundred thousand opposition supporters have rallied in the georgian capital tbilisi as the country gears up for parliamentary elections on monday the leaders of the opposition announced a out the demonstration of their short of their victory but presidents a classroom is ruling party still controls nearly eighty percent of the parliament and as a head in the polls despite its campaign having been hit hard by corruption allegations and a prison abuse scandal which brought down to ministers and triggered mass protests and the government has been trying to boost its ratings as some claim the expense of a neighboring country here's our. well. the outcome of a recent alleged police operation near georgia's border with russia's republic of dagestan eleven suspected terrorist dead b.d.c. says that the armed men were chechens who crossed into georgian territory and kidnapped around ten locals before being caught by police the news spreads quickly

but not everyone's buying it. this was all organized by georgian security services the lack of transparency and details about the incident has led many to believe the whole so-called anti terror operation was a complete hoax georgia now forty seven very successful in creating an image of a modern west in a civil way a beacon of freedom by force w. bush once called it but in this case the opposition is accusations are fighting supporters on the other side of the caucasus meet his city on the arm of he spent two decades fighting on the side of chechen militants against the moscow officially representing them in georgia he also has doubts about what really happened at this latest water operation. first of all their weapons were american made second none of them fired off a single shot that's not so the uniforms of the so-called fighters were brand new

that was saakashvili plan he sent his guys across the border into russia and then had them shot by the georgian police this was a setup just to frame russia no one will ever be able to prove anything of course. he said he cleans the easiest for dijon with terrorists began in the ninety's when you personally helped chechen separatists by delivering weapons and aid from georgia but surely the pankisi gorge in georgia is really close to chechnya it takes just ten minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the engine. and then send them all around the world for treatment and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian anti terror center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought the. album of says the really interesting
